Feel for those out west over Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, etc and south over South Georgia and Florida as you will be getting legit heat. It'll be hot here but low to mid 90's is typical for July back my way from time to time.

That was one of the most unstable days we have had. One AFD compared it to throwing a lighted match into a can of gasoline. The storm we got went from nothing to a monster in about 30 minutes.

Definitely on track for 100 today 
Yes and it really wasn’t forecasted until that morning and even then I think only 20 or 30% chance was put in. It was by 12z models that you looked and saw what was coming. The temperature at my house dropped from 103 to 76 in about 20 minutes which is the fastest temperature drop I’ve ever witnessed

Hit 90 here but that's gonna be it for today judging by radar. Forecast was 94.
Depending on how any convection or remnant MCS’s play out overnight into tomorrow morning I wouldn’t be surprised to see forecast highs here bust tomorrow. FFC has a high of 97 for tomorrow in my area right now

87 here so it looks like I have thwarted that 90 degree day again.
This is a puny heat wave so far. Smoky as hell but only 91 today.

Nothing out of the ordinary for Late June, except for the smoke.

Humidity is keeping temps down some too.

Last year was pretty close to the ceiling, so it would be quite a feat to top it.
That said, for Dallas, there's only been 16 other Summers on record with 6 100*F+ days before July 1st.

89.1F here today. These heat waves always verify slightly cooler, and they always extend longer.

Smoke was not good here yesterday, crappy air quality sucks!

today's forecast of 96 is not happening...only at 73 now and about to get some very nice downpours. be interesting to see how far south this MCS holds together, might get down to Atlanta
Atlanta up to 88 as of noon. But clouds and ultimately rain moving in, so that may be the high today. A far cry from the 96-98 that’s been forecast all week but I’m thankful!

80 with thick cloud cover and off and on showers. Keeping the warmth at bay is great. Still haven’t hit 90 and the warmest day looks to be 91 or 92 for a day or so. Far cry from typical summer weather
